Chapter 168 Can’t Waste
"Auntie, calm down."
Shen Nuo poured her a cup of tea, and she sighed softly and said:
"I know your current situation, but there are some things that I can't decide. You also know that Grandpa Fu has always wanted me and Aji to get married quickly. Otherwise, you should discuss it with him first."
“…”
"Oh, I'm sorry. Grandpa Fu is not feeling well right now. It's better if you don't disturb him. How about this? I'll call Aji and ask him to come and talk to you."
As she was about to take out her cell phone from her bag, Lin Yaxiang quickly stopped her.
"He's still working now, don't disturb him."
"All right."
Shen Nuo withdrew his hand and continued to smile: "I don't really care. After all, in a family like ours, it's not up to me to decide who to marry."
"What do you mean? Are you trying to say that you didn't want to?" Lin Yaxiang said unhappily.
"I didn't say that, so you came to me just to tell me this?"
Of course, Lin Yaxiang was not just here to lecture Shen Nuo. Her most important purpose was to get money.
She looked at the bag that Shen Nuo had placed aside and asked calmly, "That bag of yours must be quite expensive, right?"
Shen Nuo blinked: "It's not expensive, a high-end imitation bought on Taobao, only a few hundred yuan."
""
Lin Yaxiang curled her lips: "Stop joking."
Who would believe the daughter of Shen Group carrying a high-end imitation bag?
Shen Nuo did not comment, but just said with a smile:
"If you like, you can ask Aji to buy one for you. They should still have it in stock."
Lin Yaxiang's face looked unhappy. She didn't know whether Chen Nuo was really stupid or just pretending. He had no tact at all.
She softened her tone and continued to hint:
"Normally, since this is our first meeting, I should have prepared a gift for you, but you know my situation well. I was afraid you'd find it objectionable, so I didn't prepare anything..."
Shen Nuo nodded: "I understand, so I didn't prepare anything because I was afraid you would be embarrassed. It just happened to be even."
"..." Can this be evened out?
Seeing that hints were completely ineffective, Lin Yaxiang had no choice but to say it explicitly:
"I'm a little short on money lately, could you please..."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Nuo's phone rang.
"Excuse me, I have to take a call."
The person who called was Fu Chuji, who asked her when she would be done with her work so that he could come and pick her up.
Shen Nuo glanced at Lin Yaxiang, who was obviously getting nervous, and said to the other end of the phone: "Then come over."
She gave the address and added, "Your mother is here too."
Lin Yaxiang's face changed instantly and she wanted to curse, but considering that the phone was still on, she could only endure it.
She was still a little scared of her moody son.
Fu Chuji was obviously silent for a moment. He didn't say anything, just said that he would be there right away.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Nuo looked at Lin Yaxiang, whose face looked as ugly as if she had eaten a fly, and asked with pretended concern:
"Auntie, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Why did you tell Aji that you were with me?" Lin Yaxiang questioned her with a dark face.
Shen Nuo looked innocent: "Ah, so I can't tell him? But aren't you his mother? I thought I could tell him..."
In fact, when Lin Yaxiang called her and asked her if Fu Chuji was around, she had already guessed that she didn't want him to know about this.
However, she has always been a person who returns the favor if others respect her, and she will not tolerate it if others provoke her.
She didn't care about Lin Yaxiang's identity. She was with Fu Chuji because of who he was, but that didn't mean she accepted his family.
She could only be thankful that she had the capital to resist. If she were someone with a softer personality, she would have really been able to control them.
Lin Yaxiang looked at her confused face and became so angry that her face turned blue, but she couldn't say anything to refute.
She picked up her bag and was about to leave, but Shen Nuo was still behind her and asked:
"Auntie, why are you gone and the food hasn't been served yet?"
“…”
Lin Yaxiang walked faster, fearing that if she stayed any longer she would run into Fu Chuji. Knowing her son well, he would not give her any face at all.
Shen Nuo looked at her back as she almost fled in panic, and curled the corner of his lips slightly.
As a mother, she is so afraid to face her son. What did she do to make her feel so guilty?
Perhaps because he was afraid that Lin Yaxiang would say something to her, Fu Chuji came very quickly. When he pushed open the door, he saw that only Shen Nuo was in the private room. She was struggling to peel the crab in her hand.
When she saw Fu Chuji, she quickly pushed the plate of crabs in front of her in front of him.
"You're here just in time. Help me peel it."
He sat down without saying a word and helped her peel the crabs, pursing his lips.
Shen Nuo noticed his expression, pinched his chin, made him look at himself, and said frivolously: "Oh, what's with that expression you have? You look so reluctant. It's a pity that I just like strong men locking men up."
She picked up the juice in front of her and handed it to his lips, pretending it was wine.
"Come, drink up! If you have served me well today, I will reward you handsomely."
“…”
He raised his eyelids to look at her, then took a sip of juice in cooperation.
“So what is the reward?”
There was juice on his lips, which gave his originally light lip color a rosy hue.
She leaned forward and kissed him on the lips, then said with a smile, "Rewards are my favors."
He glanced at her: "You call this a favor?"
"I'm just being polite. If you really want it, what can I do if I don't give it to you?" Shen Nuo simply acted like a rogue.
Fu Chuji lowered his eyes, took out a tissue and wiped his hands, his tone was emotionless:
"What did she tell you?"
"Nothing. She just opened her mouth and I stopped her. As soon as she heard you were coming, she left."
Shen Nuo calmly brought the crab meat that had been peeled in front of him to himself.
Fu Chuji spoke again: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I thought at the time, she wanted to see me, not you, so why would she tell you?"
After saying this, Shen Nuo sighed: “But if I had known she was like this, I would definitely not have come.”
"Next time she comes to you, ignore her." He pursed his lips.
He had never thought of letting Lin Yaxiang meet Chen Nuo. As for his mother, he knew her temper very well.
Besides, he didn't think he needed to tell her about his affairs.
Shen Nuo paused while picking up the food, looked at him and said, "Is this okay?"
"Okay." He said calmly.
She suddenly lost her appetite, put down her chopsticks, and sighed:
"I don't want to eat anymore. Let's pack it up and take it back for dinner."
I've already ordered it, so I can't waste it.
